EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print, titled "Poles from different provinces. Radom. Lublin. Warsaw. Plock Augustvo," is an ethnographic record from the album "Description ethnographique des peuples de la Russie," published in Saint Petersburg in 1862. The album, dedicated to Tsar Alexander II, was a two-volume work that aimed to document the diverse ethnic groups inhabiting the Russian Empire. The first volume, featuring 62 colored illustrations, showcases various ethnicities in their traditional attire. This particular image captures Poles from the provinces of Radom, Lublin, Warsaw, and Plock Augustvo. The photograph is part of Sheet 11 from the album, which also includes a fold-out table and a colored-coded ethnographic map. The table lists the different ethnic groups and their populations in various cities within the empire, while the map illustrates the geographical distribution of these groups. The album was the brainchild of Gustav-Fedor Pauli (1817-1867), a German ethnographer who had immigrated to Russia.

The second volume of the album consists of detailed essays in French about the ethnic groups, their history, culture, language, and more. This photograph serves as a valuable historical record, providing a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of Poland during the Russian Empire.
